Angel Reese’s influence is resonating far beyond the confines of the basketball court, extending her reach into various facets of pop culture, notably within the hip-hop community.
This multifaceted engagement was prominently displayed earlier in the year when Reese, along with her Chicago Sky teammates, made a surprise appearance on stage during a concert by hip-hop sensation Megan Thee Stallion at Chicago’s United Center.
The event not only highlighted Reese’s growing celebrity status but also her connection with figures in the music industry.

Megan Thee Stallion herself has expressed admiration for Reese’s prowess on the basketball court, revealing her own sporting aspirations during a recent episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, hosted by Shannon Sharpe.
The Grammy Award-winning artist shared that she has installed a basketball hoop in her recording studio, playfully suggesting she channels Reese while playing. “I be thinking I’m really Angel Reese when I’m back there,” Megan admitted, showcasing the reciprocal admiration between the two stars. This snippet from the interview quickly spread across social media, underscoring the cultural crossover between these two realms.
On the court, Reese continues to make her mark in the WNBA. Selected as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, she has had a stellar start to her professional basketball career.
The young star recently set a new all-time WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles, with ten straight to start her career, averaging an impressive 13.3 points and 11.4 rebounds per game.
This record is not just a testament to her skill and dedication but also to her capacity to impact games consistently.
Looking ahead, Reese and the Chicago Sky are gearing up for their next challenge, facing off against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night.
As Reese continues to excel on the basketball court, her influence in broader cultural discussions and her crossover appeal in other entertainment sectors like music highlight her rising status as a multifaceted public figure.
